The Best Feature of This Benbrook Modern Farmhouse? A Private Pond

Y’ALL! (with an extra-long ‘aaaaalllll because this house is in the country a little bit, but it’s classy country like Dolly Parton.)

And even though it’s in the “country,” you’d never know it. It’s grand and beautiful and offers every modern convenience. Completed in 2020, it still has that new home feel. I can, and will, go on and on about the incredible open concept, the wall of windows that bring the most incredible views indoors, and even the massive primary closet that connects to the laundry room, which is like the feature of the day.

But first, the backyard.

Well, actually all the yard.

This modern farmhouse is set on two star-studded acres in Bella Ranch, an exceptionally well-planned gated community. The neighborhood offers walking trails and food trucks and so many events your social calendar will be packed.

But the thing that will make you absolutely lose your freaking mind? The backyard. It has a private pond that’s shared with only two other neighbors. It’s not a community pond, it’s your pond.

In her full description, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s agent Kim Bedwell romances the heck out of it. As she should. She talks about sipping coffee while the fog rolls through in the mornings. It’s the simplest statement, but it takes you there. Like someday soon there will actually be a chill in the air and you really will need a Blackwatch plaid blanket on the porch while you enjoy a freshly brewed coffee pod AND THAT FREAKING VIEW.

Bedwell also points out that the pond is fully stocked with bass and catfish and it’s “virtually maintenance free thanks to its established eco-system and abundant wildlife including turtles, frogs, birds, and a variety of fish.”

What, what, and WHAT?

This is truly that opportunity for country living with all the conveniences nearby. Benbrook is super close and it’s booming, and your school system out here? Highly sought-after Aledo.

And I told you I’d gush about the interior, and I absolutely will, but just know mentally I’m still sitting out there on that back porch waiting for the temps to drop.

Okay, here we go.

Hand-scraped hardwoods that are so perfectly polished it looks like they’ve literally never seen a shoe. A kitchen that features an Italian Verona oven, a gas cooktop, one of the best-looking hooded vents I’ve ever seen, and a central island for the kids (or you) to go to town on Froot Loops every Saturday before the cartoons hit.

The floorplan is fabulous with the primary, guest suite, and office down while the remaining bedrooms, media room, and game room are up. And in that game room, you’ll find a basically brand new Brunswick pool table and Zephyr wine fridge. And those, my dear, are yours to keep.

In conclusion, 12440 Bella Vineyard is the most stunning of stunners. There are four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an impressive 3,846 square feet. It’s listed for $998,000 but hustle your bustle, with that pond AND pool? No way she’ll last.
